The Single Trap System of House Drainage
The most approved system of house drainage now in use embraces the following features (See Plate LXXXVII) : A.–A main trap in the sewer branch where it leaves the house, either immediately inside or outside of the outer wall. B.–A vent the same size as the sewer branch, connected immediately outside of the trap, and extending either on the outside, inside, or within the house wall, above the level of the roof ridge. This outside vent is seldom applied or required by State laws or city ordinances; but is, in my judgment, the most important feature of the system. The objection urged against the introduction of this feature is, that in the case of the first house to introduce it, the sewers of the whole neighborhood will be vented at this point, and hence the said house will be plagued with more than its share of sewer air.
